First of all, animals are fascinating to me! In my household, we've had a number of dogs and my family always relied on me to take care of them. However, I enjoyed the feeding, bathing, and walking the dog. In fact, walking the dog would get us both some exercise for the day. I was never the type of person that could physically punish my dog. I would use a technique of rewarding when they do something good instead of only negative consequences.
